THE WHITE FISH INDUSTRY

GOVERNMENT PLAN FOR MARKETING

London, Feb. 22. The Minister of Agriculture nn- nounced in the House of Commons But the Government proposes to Introduce legislation as carly possible to enable a scheme for pro- duction and marketing in connection with the white fish industry to be brought forward. The scheme is based on the principles embodied in the Agricultural Marketing Acts, It, however, would only be a first step towards an

effort ut reorganisation of

the whole industry, and the proposed legislation would therefore provide for the establishment of a Comunission "to assist in the organisation of dis- tributors, to consider and recommend to the Minister schemes for improve- ment of distribution, to supervise the operation of such scheme, as well os

of a producers' scheme and generally,

to promote co-operation among

ell sections of the industry."
